I understand it a disqualification at entry but if diagnosed after you’ve already been in could it result in a medical discharge?

Only if it interferes with you doing your job. But there are plenty of treatments for it to make it manageable.

I'm not expert but if someone is looking to get out of the military for it they shouldn't have joined in the first place.
That condition would assume the excessive sweat happens most of the time not as the normal result of anxiety or extreme heat for example.

SPC Brian Mason oh the dry heat. CPL (Join to see) could this be due to weather or humidity?

A1C Johnny Le no it’s under any weather condition even worse in the cold because the moisture makes my hands even colder
